Abstract
Maxillofacial bone defect repair and regeneration remains a tremendous challenge in the field of stomatology. However, the limited osteoinductivity of artificial materials and the high cost of bioactive agents restrain their clinical translation. This study aimed to construct an economical and efficient concentrated growth factor/mesoporous bioactive glass (CGF/MBG) composite scaffold for bone regeneration. The biochemical composition and biological effects of different forms of CGFs were systematically compared, and the results showed that CGF-conditioned medium effectively promoted proliferation, migration and osteogenesis of allogenic BMSCs. Gel phase CGF (gpCGF) exhibited superior bioactivity and osteoinductivity to liquid phase CGF (lpCGF) and liquid/gel mixed phase CGF (lgpCGF), and was further applied to construct CGF/MBG scaffolds. In vitro studies demonstrated that co-culture with gpCGF-conditioned medium further enhanced the biocompatibility of MBG, increasing cell adhesion and proliferation on the scaffold. On this basis, two compositing approaches to construct the scaffold by fibrin gel formation (CGF/FG/MBG) and freeze-drying (fdCGF/MBG) were applied, and the biological efficacy of CGFs was compared in vivo. In a rabbit mandibular defect model, higher osteogenic efficiency in in situ bone regeneration of CGF/FG/MBG composite scaffolds was proved, compared with fdCGF/MBG. Taken together, the CGF/FG/MBG composite scaffold is expected to be an efficient bone repairing therapy for clinical translation, and the CGF-composited scaffold using gpCGF and the fibrin gel formation method is a promising way to enhance the bioactivity and osteoinductivity of current clinical bone repairing materials, providing new thoughts on the development of future orthopedic biomaterials.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the bone regeneration effect of bovine hydroxyapatite-processed biomaterials Bone-XB and S1-XB in a beagle mandibular defect model. A total of four saddle-type critical sizes (15 mm × 10 mm) bone defects are created in each dog: two defects in the left mandible and two defects in the right mandible. The defect control (DC) group is kept unfilled, and the other three defects are filled with three different biomaterials as follows: positive control Bio-Oss (Bio-Oss group), Bone-XB (XB group), and S1-XB (S1-XB group). Bone regeneration is evaluated by radiography, micro-computed tomography, and histological analysis. It is revealed that Bone-XB and S1-XB significantly increase newly formed bone, defect filling percentage, and bone healing score compared to the DC group, which is confirmed by bone microstructure augmentation (bone volume/total volume, trabecular number, and trabecular thickness). Interestingly, no significant differences are observed between the Bone-XB, S1-XB, and Bio-Oss groups. It is suggested that Bone-XB or S1-XB stimulates bone regeneration demonstrated by the increase in newly formed bone and bone microstructure, thereby improving bone defect filling, which is equivalent to the Bio-Oss. Therefore, bovine hydroxyapatite-processed Bone-XB or S1-XB can be considered effective biomaterials for correcting critical-size bone defects or fractures.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate a rabbit model of mandibular box-shaped defects created through an intraoral approach and determine the minimum size defect that would not spontaneously heal during the rabbit's natural life (or critical-sized defect, CSD). Methods Forty-five 6-month-old rabbits were randomly divided into five defect size groups (nine each). Mandibular box-shaped defects of different sizes (4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 mm) were created in each hemimandible, with the same width and depth (3 and 2 mm, respectively). Four, 8, and 12 weeks post-surgery, three animals per group were euthanized. New bone formation was assessed using micro-computed tomography (MCT) and histomorphometric analyses. Results Box-shaped defects were successfully created in the buccal region between the incisor area and the anterior part of the mental foramen in rabbit mandibles. Twelve weeks post-surgery, MCT analysis showed that the defects in the 4, 5, and 6 mm groups were filled with new bone, while those in the 8 and 10 mm groups remained underfilled. Quantitative analysis revealed that the bone mass recovery percentage in the 8 and 10 mm groups was significantly lower than that in the other groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the bone mass recovery percentage between the 8 and 10 mm groups (p > 0.05). Histomorphometric analysis indicated that the area of new bone formation in the 8 and 10 mm groups was significantly lower than that in the remaining groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the new bone area between the 8 and 10 mm groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions The dimensions of box-shaped CSD created in the rabbit mandible through an intraoral approach were 8 mm × 3 mm × 2 mm. This model may provide a clinically relevant base for future tissue engineering efforts in the mandible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many studies have aimed to investigate the regeneration potential of bone substitutes through animal models at different defect sites, where the bone healing mechanism varies due to developmental, structural and functional differences. This study aims to develop a rabbit model with two functionally different (non-load-bearing calvarias and load-bearing mandibular) critical-sized defects (CSD) in one rabbit. MATERIAL & METHOD The comparison of the "gold standard" autograft to a sham (no graft) control was undertaken in order to validate this model; at the same time, a 3D-printed biphasic calcium phosphate scaffold was implanted to test its utility in the evaluation of new bone substitute materials. Twenty rabbits were selected with both a 10 mm calvaria defect and a 11 mm bicortical semi-cylindrical mandibular defect. The animals were euthanized at 4 and 12 weeks once surgery, microcomputed tomography and histological analysis had been performed. RESULTS In the case of the calvaria, the results for the non-healing sham group compared with the healing of those that had undergone the autograft validated the CSD model. But the mandibular defect was not validated, due to the particularity of mandible high mechanical stress and infectious risk. DISCUSSION This study showed for the first time that rabbits have a high tolerance for the bilateral double-site CSD model under consideration; and further studies are essential to modify and improve the design of mandibular CSD.

Mandible Biomechanics and Continuously Erupting Teeth: A New Defect Model for Studying Load-Bearing Biomaterials. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9070730. [PMID: 34202189 PMCID: PMC8301467 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9070730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Animals with elodont dentition and unfused mandible symphyses are hypothesized to have symmetric incisor morphology. Since these animals maintain their teeth by gnawing, they may provide physiologic feedback on mechanical function when unilateral mandible defects are created that manifest as ipsilateral changes in tooth structure. This defect model would potentially generate important information on the functional/mechanical properties of implants. Rats’ and rabbits’ mandibles and teeth are analyzed with µCT at baseline and post-intervention (n = 8 for each). Baseline incisors were compared. In a unilateral mandible pilot study, defects—ranging from critical size defect to complete ramus osteotomies—were created to assess effect on dentition (rats, n = 7; rabbits, n = 6). Within 90% confidence intervals, animals showed no baseline left/right differences in their incisors. There are apparent dental changes associated with unilateral defect type and location. Thus, at baseline, animals exhibit statistically significant incisor symmetry and there is an apparent relationship between mandible defect and incisor growth. The baseline symmetry proven here sets the stage to study the degree to which hemi-mandible destabilizing procedures result in measurable & reproducible disruption of dental asymmetry. In a validated model, an implant designed to function under load that prevents incisor asymmetry would provide supporting evidence that the implant has clinically useful load-bearing function.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to identify bone defects of critical size in C57BL/6 mouse mandibles. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four male mice were included in this study. All mice underwent surgeries on their left mandibles. Mandibular defects of 1.0 mm (n = 8), 1.6 mm (n = 8), and 2.3 mm (n = 8) were created. For the investigation of bone healing after an 8-week period, micro-computed tomography scans and histomorphology were performed. RESULTS Mandibular bone nonunions were seen 0/8 in the 1.0-mm group, 6/8 in the 1.6-mm group, and 8/8 in the 2.3-mm group. The outcome of micro-computed tomography showed that, after 8 weeks, the bone mineral density and the bone volume to total volume ratio were significantly different among the 3 groups. The defect gaps in the nonunion 1.6- and 2.3-mm groups were filled with connective tissue, and no obvious bone formation was found. Additionally, in quantitative analysis, according to the new bone fill calculations, the percentages were 91.85% ± 8.03% in the 1.0-mm group, 59.84% ± 20.60% in the 1.6-mm group, and 15.36% ± 8.28% in the 2.3-mm group, which indicated statistically significantly lower defect healing in the 2.3-mm group. CONCLUSIONS The creation of 2.3-mm mandibular defects produces osseous nonunion in C57BL/6 mice.
